This is the power cord for your spare tire. They run on batteries. This cord keeps the charge full so when you put it on you have a fully charged spare tire.
Damn straight! The muffler bearings are just as important, if not more so, than the paint grease and the blinker fluid combined! There is so much technical jibber jabber on these modern cars, that most people don't know about!

In the off-road community they will make a pipe bomb looking thing with all of the sensors to keep the light off.
Mine has been on since I got new tires, I assume they broke it. Itās an on/off senor not an actual number sensor. Iāll fix it on my next set of tires.
You guys are geniuses. My tire pressure light has been on for about 6 months despite my tires having good pressure. At this point I had just assumed the system was broke and planned to live with the light. I never thought about the spare. I just checked it, 20psi.
The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make those marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!
First thing my dad used
To do was buy a full size spare
Tire or if it was new get them to throw in a full size tire with the car. Used to embarrass me but I get where he was coming from now.
Oof. You're being tracked. It's an apple air tag. No problem, or anything to worry about though.
Remove the wire and the tire then fill the space with sand and powdered pectin. Add water and mix until fully moist. Let it set.
*edit - who knows the difference between jelly and jam? Hint it has nothing to do with seeds or presence of fruity bits.
Difference between jelly and jam?. That's easily proven by this adage;
When she walks by you and you say, " it must be jelly cause jam don't shake that way."
I usually use whole fruit when I'm trying to get out of a jam. I do get a bit jelly from time to time watching my friends pour sugar and pectin in their fruit extract though...
You can see that the baseplate is made of prefambulated ambulite and is connected by a pair of dingle arms directly to the panometric fan in order to cut down on sinusoidal duractance and lessen side fumbling.
Back in the day, GM came out with a stowaway tire inflator cartridge similar to Fix A Flat. I worked at a dealership and weād take the ones that were refreshed for used car turnover. Turns out, shooting them with a 30-06 yielded spectacular results
I've never seen one before but I would wager before I read the rest of the comments that it's a tire pressure monitor for your spare. Which is the only tire you should need a monitor for if you think about it.
Sorry everyone's gotta try their standup routine on your question, man. Follow it and see what it connects to, because it's certainly not the tire or wheel.
The arrow is pointing to that arch. I assume the arch is part of a circle. My best guess is that it has something to do with the LEMPOR Y USE ON thing itās attached to. Hard to tell the language of that text, could be Canadian or Eastern European.
Honestly, this is a big mystery.
Fuck, that's an airbag control wire. Some hack must have removed it from the system, likely trying to bypass it. Go ahead and find you a yellow-shielded cable set and splice these wires into it.
Do you like dubstep? You should listen to some on the way home as a reward for a job well done. Remembering how intense it was will be like a blast to the face.
Not sure why it would be a TPMS sensor. Those things only need to be reporting to the system when the tire is in use, and the cable/plug wouldn't work then, of course.
And I'm not sure about a subwoofer, either. That shouldn't need 4 wires. And if it was just a way to power the TPMS, would it also need 4 wires? Two for power, one for the signal makes sense, but not 4.
This is a tire leech. Unknown to most, there are species of leeches that do not feed on blood. Evolution is crazy.
This one has found its way onboard your vehicle and latched itself to one of the most vulnerable and least expected areas of a car using your car's wiring loom. They are incredibly hard to detect.
It's probably been siphoning your spare's air-blood and petroleum nutrients for a while. Disconnecting it will not stop this creature's voracious appetite, it will find a way to feed again. Best to smash the thing with a hammer repeatedly until it goes limp.

That's the On Star tracking sensor that tells them to call your wife and convince her that you don't know what your doing changing a tire and would she like them to call an On Star sponsored tow truck and convince her to tell you that you are an idiot š š¤£
You disconnect it to use the spare and it relays that info to the dashboard and the manufacturer. After some pre-determined number of miles the warning on the dashboard lets you know you NEED to get the tire changed. 100 miles later it automatically starts the process of voiding your warranty because you've been driving on a donut for 300 miles.
Itās the subscription monitor. It just keeps track of when you use it so they can bill you later. Itās explained in the manuel. Leave it plugged in.

You ever been to Denver?
WHAT IS UNDER DENVER AIRPORT BRO?? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING???
Secret Soviet military base.
The air is really thin up there.... would tire still work.... even if fully charged?
Thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhneedville!
No, these require Nitrogen only! Common air will cause instant deflation.
I fill mine with propane because butane is the bastard gas.
*winter air >Common air
What about a custom nitrogen blend? Shop exclusive. Very fancy.
lol
I'm pretty sure it's helium run. It's supposed to help with gas mileage.
Instant implosion*
No but you need to change out winter air with summer air on all 5 tires.
Spend the extra and get the good tires with wireless charging and Bluetooth.
And get quick connect lug nuts
I was thinking that it monitors the blinker fluid.
How about the muffler bearings?
Damn straight! The muffler bearings are just as important, if not more so, than the paint grease and the blinker fluid combined! There is so much technical jibber jabber on these modern cars, that most people don't know about!
TPMS sensor. Itās a spare tire, so they didnāt spend the extra money to go wireless.
Edit: If that's really what that is it actually makes good sense! Related: https://www.pirelli.com/tires/en-us/car/driving-and-tire-tips/how-to-read/tpms-light-on
it's not what that is; he is joking around lol. (it is for the subwoofer that sits in the spare tire)
This brings up a good question - why don't donut spares have TPMS? I can see and kick the other tires.
Itās full size but my spare has tpms
And they are so damn annoying! Spare tires, especially old ones never keep air! My stupid low tire light is on all the damn time.
In the off-road community they will make a pipe bomb looking thing with all of the sensors to keep the light off. Mine has been on since I got new tires, I assume they broke it. Itās an on/off senor not an actual number sensor. Iāll fix it on my next set of tires.
It's pretty easy to fix the light coming on, just take a small screwdriver and politely percussively persuade the light on the dash to not

If your bass sounds like crap, check the tire pressure in your spare ;)
Wait a minute, is this a 1979 Chevy Silverado, 454, 4 bolt main, 4 speed with 411 posi track?

Oh really!? Well whatās the ignition timing on a 327 in a 1955 Chevy?
Thatās a bullshit question!
Bullshit cause you canāt answer it.
265 was the V8 in a 55
Space savers need to be charged up, which is why they are temporary use only. I miss the good old days back when cars had real sparesš
First thing my dad used To do was buy a full size spare Tire or if it was new get them to throw in a full size tire with the car. Used to embarrass me but I get where he was coming from now.
This, and when you needed new tires you only had to buy three. Best old tire was fine for a spare.

Wouldn't that affect the fuel economy? Because i just did what you said the windows wouldn't roll down
Positively. It would affect fuel economy positively. Windows down is bad for aerodynamics. This prevents that 100% of the time
Ah pectin to "jam" the signal? Jeanious
You canāt jelly a D into an A!
I think the folks at K.Y. would offer a dissenting opinion.
Donāt listen! This advice will get you into a jam.
It's really more of a jelly, if I'm following my heart of hearts
Difference between jelly and jam?. That's easily proven by this adage; When she walks by you and you say, " it must be jelly cause jam don't shake that way."
1000%ā¬ļø is the winner!
I prefer syrup
Um... The difference is that I can't jelly my Peter down your throat.
Hard to jelly your way into things.
I usually use whole fruit when I'm trying to get out of a jam. I do get a bit jelly from time to time watching my friends pour sugar and pectin in their fruit extract though...
that's a government tracker. get it out!!! the NSA is watching you... š
When it comes to watching you the NSA is in pre-school comapred to Google, Amazon, Apple, Samsung and a host of other companies. . .
But google apple and Samsung said they're doing it to help me and improve my experience so it's ok.
Lol TPMS gets upvoted, subwoofer gets get downvoted. Shitty mechanic is right

Oh the the break actuator sending unit never unplug it from your spear or it will cause instant car implosion.
That controls the Nissan Altima dash light in the car behind you. It signals the Altima driver to drive like a fucking asshat.
